Personal Statement

Personal Statement:

I specialize in children, teens and families, and welcome all ages to my practice. My clients have successfully worked towards their individual goals, including improving their ability to function at home, school and work, improving their mood, coping skills, and motivation, and improving their relationships with family, friends, teachers and coworkers. Clients who typically connect most easily with me include children and teens struggling with sadness, worries, emotional swings, suicidality, stressful situations or events, social challenges, behavioral problems, hallucinations, or high-functioning autism.
Over more than 12 years, I have built expertise promoting positive change in behavioral health roles ranging from in-home, clinic and community counseling, autism and behavior support, school counseling, case management, executive leadership, and organization quality improvement. But my best tools for supporting you are my open ears, mind and heart.
Raised in Sonoma County, I understand that the strength, resiliency, and tremendous positivity of our community is rooted in our personal strengths and our connections to one another. Sometimes challenges get in the way of our ability to grow and to engage in all Sonoma County and the world have to offer. Together we can overcome those challenges.
